Mike Sessler 02/08/12 11:00 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Here are some thoughts on doing virtual sound check if you don’t have a DiGiCo or Avid digital console at your disposal. Disclaimer: This is not going to be exhaustive. There are hundreds of hardware/software combinations that will get you the same result. These are some ideas only. Also, it should be noted that “cheap” is a relative term. All of these solutions are going to cost money, real money. However, if you… View this story

Rob Schlette 02/08/12 09:18 AM,This article is provided by the Pro Audio Files. Multitrack DAW recordings are dependent on a complex system of primary and secondary technologies. As discussed in An Introduction to Archiving Music Recordings, each of these technologies represents an obstacle to the long-term viability of a multitrack archive. Simply put, if the various software and hardware products you’re using today aren’t going to be around in their current versions for the useful life of the sound recordings you’re creating (i.e.… View this story

Jon Tidey 02/07/12 02:04 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. In this article I’ll explain how I use mid-side (MS) processing on stereo sources for practical or creative effects. Mid-Side? Two channels of audio can be combined in a way that gives us control over what is the same in each signal, the middle, and what is different, the sides. The middle is where the kick drum, snare, bass, vocals and a lot of other instruments are, the sides have any… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 02/06/12 10:04 AM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. Here’s an excerpt of an interview with Elliot Scheiner from The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook. Ells has long been recognized as one of the finest engineers working today and has a shelf full of industry awards (five Grammys, four Surround Music Awards, Surround Pioneer Award, Tech Awards Hall Of Fame and too many total award nominations to count) from his work with The Eagles, Beck, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Sting, John Fogerty, Van… View this story

Chris Huston 02/06/12 07:56 AM,As a complete oversimplification, a microphone is an instrument which measures differences in air pressure. It is not surprising that somebody would, in light of the interest in Quadraphonic sound, experiment and perfect an instrument which would measure and transduce the differences in air pressure around a full 360 degrees - to effectively create a quadraphonic microphone. Figure 1 (click to enlarge) Such a truly Quadraphonic device, developed by engineer Carl Countryman and producer Brad Miller, is in external appearance… View this story

Joe Gilder 02/02/12 03:10 PM,This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. A reader is puzzled by stereo (2-mic) acoustic guitar recording: I recently got into mixing acoustic guitar with 2 mics. The problem is that I do not know how to create as much ‘space’ as some tracks I know of. I’ve tried XY, ORTF, and spaced pair. XY and ORTF are too narrow. Spaced pair seems reasonable (following the 3:1 Rule), but the mic pointed closest to the body becomes overly… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 01/31/12 11:44 AM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. During a long discussion about vintage instruments in the studio this week, it prompted me to think about this excerpt from The Ultimate Guitar Tone Handbook (written with writer, composer and good buddy Rich Tozzoli) that describes some of the intangible factors that went into manufacturing Gibson humbucking pickups in the 50’s and 60’s. As you’ll see, there are a lot of external factors that went into making a pickup back then,… View this story
